I am getting married in a catholic church and having a ceromony in lieu of the full mass. Do i still have 2 readers? I dont want to ask them and then find out I do not have 2 readers.
Thanks!

You can also chose to have the responsorial psalm read if you don't want it sung.

yes, so you need to pick out a Gospel as well but ONLY the priest or deacon can read the gospel.
The only difference between a Mass and a ceremony is that
a ceremony has: The liturgy of the Word and the Rite of Marriage and then you're done. There is no communion in a ceremony.
A Mass has the Liturgy of the Word, the Rite of Marriage AND the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
